Graham Lyons, a woodwind mentor and champion, has been creating fabulous music for a very long time.
His original pieces are highly effective and great fun to play.
The massive popularity of his hundreds of arrangements speak for themselves.

When I retired from the professional music scene I took up my second love, teaching, I there encountered Graham’s
educational material. I think, at one time or another, I found myself using almost all of his works with my pupils.
The primary reason – they enjoyed them.
As a teaching resource they challenged the student at just the right level and there was always something
in his pieces that made the student have to learn a new fingering or musical technique.
At no time did I ever find a piece that the student felt they couldn’t overcome with “just another couple of practices”.
I have enjoyed working with his music and the students have always enjoyed performing it.

My students (beginners to advanced) enjoy playing many of Mr Lyons' pieces and I myself have enjoyed playing his
pieces through my own Trinity College grade exams. His pieces are always well thought out, extremely melodic
and demonstrate a thorough knowledge of the instruments for which he writes. There is always a little twist and just
enough challenge in the piece to ensure the students have to think. -
